This is why i don't worry about india being super power any time soon. They will probably get fractured by the west in a couple of decade because of the caste, religion, culture infighting.

As long as the BJP or similar Hindu nationalist platform is in power, India will never be able to reconcile and unify it's internal minorities, let alone external neighbours.
Also, if the conflict with China starts turning visibly unwinnable, India might do a backstab on the US and try to swing back to majority BRICS alignment, and try to slowly strengthen and change BRICS from within.

About the same time when he pays for the disaster in Hawaii, only 700 dollars per household, with the added humiliation of a few billion dollars sent to Ukraine as a comparison. At the end of the day, the people of the USA are cry babies. Sucking it up is ultimately all they can do and no amount of guns will solve anything because they are fundamentally a bunch of cry babies who cry when they try to smack you…. In the ass

700 dollar is just enough for a Mate 60.

A significant portion of their population also live in the latitude that will be very "miserable" due to global warming especially without air conditioning and also suffer water scarcity. That along with wide wealth gap may cause a lot of local unrest.

This remind me of this picture that i already posted. based on greater wealth creation in Mideast. it is expected more indian will get employed to have enough money and education to move to west and there will be more demographic opportunity depend on effectiveness of economic grip of Arabs in west. this without the new large wide body airline from Saudi. and there will be certain airlines not on map.

Biden says Xi has significant problems like youth unemployment and an economic crisis.
Interestingly, this is not the first time Biden has mentioned tired Peter-Zeihan-level-stupid cliches about China. He did it in the SoU address and various other times for the last year and he seemed to me genuinely to believe them because he says it with such confidence. I'm really beginning to wonder whether the American political system has become so dysfunctional and delusional that it started to believe its own propaganda. I really wonder whether POTUS is getting proper intelligence about China.

Jai Hind!!, this is why Xi did not attend. He is scared of us, this is not an diplomatic handshake but a warring to Xi.
Narendra Modi: PM Modi shakes hands, exchanges pleasantries with Chinese..
i wonder what he thinks of that

I feel that the Peter Zeihan propaganda is an overall improvement over the older propaganda nutjobs like Gordon Chang, Peter Navarro, and Steve Bannon. At least for Peter Zeihan, he is saying that China is so doomed, so the US should not worry too much about it. The older yellow peril nutjobs would say that China is doomed, but is also evil, so the US must hurt and destroy China. Biden is still influenced by the propaganda of those older nutjobs.

A more peaceful US president might use the Peter Zeihan propaganda to calm the American public, and then start to turn the country's attention inwards. Work on America, and leave China alone, because it is doomed anyway.

A Canadian warship has at least 3 encounters with Chinese ships as it patrols contested waters​

Tensions are high aboard HMCS Ottawa, as China asserts itself in the waters off Japan​



This is what happens if you don't create the right conditions, you get shot at by "laser" from Chinese ships.

According to Pop3, China is not shining military grade laser on their ship for shits and giggles. They are using optical fire control to acquire a lock on the ship for simulated attack. Using radar fire control would give away too much information on top of causing panic/misinterpretation.

I have a feeling that a similar incident earlier this year in which an Australian asset got lazed occurred under similar circumstances.

Western sanctions on Russia is China's gain.
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
“The withdrawal of Western companies from Russia has created vast opportunities for Chinese businessmen and enterprises to cooperate with Russia. For example, in the vehicle manufacturing sector: many Chinese carmakers have entered the Russian market throughout the past year. While previously they made up only 5-6% of the market, now it is almost 40%,” Zhou stated.

Long may the Western sanctions game continue! Sanction Russia, sanction Huawei, sanction Chinese officials, sanction Russian cats, sanction Chinese tomatoes. More sanctions please. Sanction them all!

Funny how I still recall some months ago - That a few here in this forum claimed that "soft power is of absolutely no use in the geopolitical fight between superpowers".

The thing is - Not a lot of people outside of the military circle talk about military stuff everyday. But there are fvck tons of people everywhere who talking movies, dramas, songs and games. Every. Single. Day.


I believe I need to knock this sentence onto this forum wall for everyone here to actually make sense and understand.

While China is now equipped with the capability to militarily go toe-to-toe with the US in her own front yard (i.e. WestPac), yet China is nowhere near the US when it comes to soft power influence and control projection.

Besides, soft power isn't just about building bridges, schools, airports and hospitals. It is about connecting, managing, and even controlling the minds & hearts of the targeted audience & population.

Just this one simple question is enough: "How often do Chinese people talk about American movies? Meanwhile, how often do American people talk about Chinese movies?"

TL;DR - China needs to do A WHOLE LOT MORE if she intends to stand toe-to-toe with the US (and her allies with far-reaching soft power prowess, i.e. South Korea and Japan) in the soft power battlefield.

LMAO. You people always start panicking whenever something like this happens. How foolish is it to look back on this after all three branches of China's military have exercised with the Thais, Pita is denied Prime Minister post, and even Thaskin has returned from exile?
